to express an opinion upon the sub
jcct have announced themselves favor
able to Cleveland's denomination. The
remainder are for Hill, and about a
dozen had either NO opinion ut all, or
else desired to conceal their views for
the present.
The overwhelming ma
jority in favor Of Cleveland comes
mainly from the representatives of
districts that are untainted with the
practical politics of the cities, where
political maneuvering is bread-and-
butter business.
Taking their expressions at face
value five-sixths Of those announcing
their views are for Cleveland. To pre-
sent the matter perfectly impartially,
however, it will be necessary to dis
count this majority triilc, say about
one.tenth, and with this slight shave
the proportion who will heartily CO.
operate and use their influence for
Cleveland's denomination can be fix
ed at an exact quantity. The ten per
cent. shave is made for those who in
expressing their views evidently had
some sort of personal grievance
against the administration, and would
hardly be desirable for Cleveland dele
gates in the event of q close contest,
But even allowing that 10 per cent,
of the alleged Cleveland men were
secretly opposed to him that all the
non-committal members were against
him, and add to these those who open
ly announce their opposition, Cleve-
land would still have two-thirds of
the Dem ocratic members of the legis-
lature, proportion whose support is
unquestionable in the most unfavor-
able light in which it can be placed.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

(From our egular corresponGent)
WASHINGTON, May 9th, 1881.
The event Of the past week was the
visit to Washington of the Queen Of
the Sandwich Islands and her suite.
All sorts of obsequious attentions
were paid to her majesty at the Capital
of this great Republic, for although
KspioIani has the complexion of mu-
latto and the Egyptian cast feature, she
is parsonage. and there Is only one
way to treat visiting royalty, in this
country as well as in Others.
The conjunction of royalty and dem
ocracy was especially interesting as
presented at the State dinner The
President of nearly sixty millions Of
freemen led out the queen consort, Kap-
io,ani. of little more than sixty thousand
neople and sat at one end of his Cfii-
cial hoard with the dusky hued Queen
on his right and the dusky princess nc
companving her on his left. Eor once,
at least. since the beginning OF his
Administration, Mr.. Cleveland found
himself 1anked by two women who
could not talk back 10 him. Neithtr
Of them had sufficient command of
English for general conversation. AT
the other end of the table satMIs. Cleve-
land and Minister Carter, who represents
the little kingdom in the Pacific ocean
tn this government. Mrs. Cleveland
laupbed gayly as she talked to her escort
and was evidently enjoying the Presi-
DENTS situation while she was conceal
cd from his view by large floral decOra-
tions in the centre Of the table.
The banquet was a most elaborate
affair and In perfection OF every detail
was thought to excel any entertain
ment given at the Executive Mansion
during Mr. Cleyelard's occupancy.
The State apartments were p:ofuseIy
decorated with flowers, among when
the Hawaii colors were prominent and
the East Room surpassed the occasion
of the Presidents wedding, not in
number, perhaps, but in the selection
of the flowers used.
When visiting the Treasury De-
partment Kapiolani was taken down
into the subterranean vaults where the
money is kept, and seemed to take a
deep interest in tie loads of gold and
silver stored away there. When told
how much money she stood in the
midst of, she was filled with wonder.
She left the Capital delighted with her
visit. and thinking that this is a great
| people, and that they have a big Navy.
and immense dinners and big taffy
mines and handsome Presidents wives.

The question of who shall be the
Democratic standard bearer in 1888
has given rise to much speculation
and argument. The PittsbLrg Post,
that staunch Democratic organ, has
made it its business to sound the
State Legislature by making a close
canvass and one of the staff corre-
spondents of that paper writes about
the political drift as follows 1t will
take the delegates of very large col
lection of States to finally settle the
question, but il can be taken as FORE
gone conclusion that the delegates
from Pennsylvania will be for Cleve-
land. A most remarkable and wholly
improbable reyulsion of feeling would
have to occur to secure the endorse
ment of the Democracy of this State
for a candidate other than Cleveland.
There is no better index to the pop
ular sentiment in this regard than the
expressions of preference made by the
Democrats in the. house and senate
at Harrisburg. Of the Democrats

AN AWFUL EARTHQUAKE.
The Town of Bnptrispc, Mexico, De-
stroyed And 200 People Killed.

GuAYMos, Mexico, May S.-The
earthquake of the Sd instant WAS ac
compauied by terrible volcanic ernp-
ton at Baptrispe, which destroyed
Monte yuma, killing l5O persons and ig-
hitting the woods in lhe vicinity. Twen
ty-seven persons were also killed at
Oputu by falling buildings. Many per
sons were injured at Grenada and Gus
abar, which towns weie almost com.
pletely destroyed.
A dispatch from the City of Mexico
says: The government to-day received
its first information regarding the dis
astrcus earthquake on the 81 instant,
at the town of BaptIise, in the d.sti let
II Montezuma, Sonora, 10y which 80
persons lost their lives. The earth
quake occurred at $50 u. NJ. At the
same time volcanic eruptions began in
the neighboring mountains, lighting up
the SUBMITS for long distance. The
same afternoon earthquake SHOCKS "eT e
felt throughout the State. The predic-
tion is made here 10y local scientists
that Mexico is about TO undergo a gen.
eral scimic c)nvulsion and records of
earthquak shocks show that there is
widespread volcanic activity from one
end Of Mexico 10 the other. Volcanic
outbreaks are occurring near the Qua
temalan border as well as in the State
of Sonora.

HIGH LICENSE was somewhat modi-
fed by an amendment to the original
bill, which passed the state senate by q
small majority on Wednesday of last
week. The amendment makes diff
ference between whiskey and beer or
wine and puts the license fees for the
sale of the latter at the following fig
ures: In cities of the first, second
and third class 5000, in all other
cities $3.50, in boroughs 500 and in
townships $50 per year. A natural
consequence of this amendment will
be that many of the grog shops will
60 out of existence on account Of the
very high fees and that the Grazing,
poisonous liquors viii be substituted
by milder and healthier beverages,
which may be sold at less expense.
The bill, of course, is not to the taste
of prohibitionists, but even they must
admit that the bill as amended will
tend to largely decrease drunkenness.

EVERY party has its dissatisfied ele-
ment and the Democratic party is no
exception to the rule. This becomes
evident as the presidential campaign
of 1888 approaches and Cleveland is
being held up as the available candi-
date. Those democrats who were af-
ter the spoils and were disappointed
by our reform president are, as might
be expecsed, sour and opposed to
Cleveland. They will however, when
the proper time comes, remember
that in case of the election of a republi-
can president, their chances are infin-
itely smaller than under Cleveland,
and they win wisely join the demo-
cratic army and support the demo-
cratic nominee in the final contest

ONE GOOD RESULT.

A Tucson special says: "Another
violent earthquake is reported in San
Jose Mountain, forty miles south OF
Fort Huachuca, in Sonora. General
Forcyth has sent an exploration party
to investigate. A party, just returned
from Santa Cantalna Mountains, Ie-
ports that the canyons are fullof water,
which was brought 10 the surface by
the earthquake. This is great boon
for that region, as there are thousands
of acres of coed farming lands ut the
base of these mountains which only
needed water To make them valuable.
Another good effect of the earthquake
is the opening of two large gold veins,
which was discovered in the Santa Cat
alma Mountains, at point where the
whole side of a mountain slid dowr.
Several prospecting parties have left 10
locate claims.
